The Falcons will have four different uniform combinations for the 2026 regular season. They will have an all-white combo featuring a black helmet, a white top/black pants combo with a black helmet, a red top/white pants combo with a black helmet, and a black jersey/white pants combo with a red helmet. The white jerseys will be mainly worn on the road, while the red jerseys will be the de facto home uniforms and the black jerseys will serve as an alternate.
The jerseys they wear at home will say "Atlanta" across the chest, while their road jerseys will say "Falcons." All sets of their jerseys will have "Dirty Birds" inscribed inside the back collar as a tribute to the franchise's fan base.
Each pair of pants, regardless of the uniform combination, has a red stripe down the outside of the leg. This was done as an homage to the original 1968 Falcons design.
The black helmets have all been redesigned to be a low-gloss black shell, and there is an updated front bumper with a "winged" ATL logo.

The Titans underwent an entire logo rebrand ahead of the 2026 season. Tennessee is focused on using the old Houston Oilers' sky-blue color in its logo and uniforms. Some fans had started tiring of the Titans constantly referring to the old franchise, but the franchise responded by leaning in even further and making that identity their own.
Tennessee will have three new uniforms for the 2026 season. The Titans will wear white helmets with each jersey combo. One will be a white jersey/blue pants, another a blue jersey/white pants, and the last an all-white option.
The home jerseys will read "Titans" across the chestplate, while the away jerseys will read "Tennessee." Fans will notice sets of six stripes on the sleeves. The six stripes were chosen to represent Nashville and the six strings of a guitar. The inside collar will feature the word "We," highlighting the franchise's "We over Me" mantra.
Ever wondered what the three stars represent with Tennessee's logo? The state is often divided into three regions: West, Middle and East. They are commonly called the Great Divisions in the state, and each star in the logo represents one of the regions that make the state whole.

The Commanders announced new uniforms on April 15. They will have three different jerseys that they pair with various pant colors to create a lot of variety in their options. Washington's main jerseys will be burgundy and white, with both available in yellow, burgundy or white pants. The third Commander's jersey is their alternate jersey, called the "Hail Raiser." It is an all-black combo with black jerseys, pants and helmets. It also features a unique logo with a sideways spear going through the middle of the team's W logo.
The choice of the new logo with the spear in the middle was made to be a "powerful joining of past and present." The logo also, "the spearhead symbolizes those leading the fight. A design that captures the forward-focused spirit of the Commander, a leader of warriors."
While the details post doesn't offer any historical context for the decisions behind the new jerseys, it does highlight an interesting helmet choice. The burgundy helmet with the yellow stripe, worn with the white and burgundy jerseys, has a glossy finish. The black helmet was finished with low-gloss, giving it a more matte look.
